Construction payment claims in South Australia

South Australia’s Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2009 mainly supports commercial and non-owner-occupied construction payment claims.

Owner-occupier work is an important boundary

Direct domestic work for a person who lives, or intends to live, at the premises is excluded. A payment claim must identify the work or related goods and services, state the amount claimed and say it is made under the Act. Certain Crown contracts and legacy arrangements need manual review. Correct service and evidence of receipt matter; ordinary email should not be assumed valid without a supported service route.

No card required. The check helps identify whether the standard pathway may fit; it does not serve a claim.
